OF TIGERS AND TUNA FISH
A Short Story By calvinandhobbes1010
Prologue
It was a rainy day at the Girl Hater Private Eye. After just solving the Sandwich Stealing Fiend case, I was getting a little hungry. I went downstairs and opened up the fridge. What I saw next made me stumble backwards. Attached to the can of tuna fish was a note…
"iF yoU evEr wANt to SEe YOuR sTUffEd tiGer hOBBes agaiN, lEAve a PAckage witH aLL yOuR halLOWeEn cAndY oN yOUR frONt porCH iN 5 mInuTes or tHE tiGer geTS iT!"

ALL MY HALLOWEEN CANDY! This guy (or girl for that matter) was serious. I mean, I had at least six Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in there. I called Hobbes' name.
"HOBBES!!" I screamed.
No answer.
This guy had my best buddy. Hmmm… Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, or my loyal companion… This was definitely a tough one.
I decided to comply with this obviously crazy maniac (I was choking up as I set my Halloween candy on the porch. As I departed from my prized 20 pound bag of goodies.)
But I was going to give my candy away in vein. Before I set my candy out on the porch, I placed a tape recorder in the bag.
Maybe I wouldn't loose my candy for good, and even find my good old stuffed tiger friend in the process.
